Alex/Joe-Kwame,

precisely how it works. Involve and set free your emotions, once milestones have been accomplished. Reaching goals is a bitter, arid and prosaic path, upward struggle. Plus the pushing feeling or flow - possibly moving on in a zone - will emerge in doing your job. Thank you very much, Alex. Wishing a lot of humans with perspective will read your assessment.

Thank you Alex! A timely reminder. I already "know" this in my head. Act your way into feeling is greater than feel your way into acting!

I love "System takes the emotion out of process!" I am passionate about systems and our company uses the acronym SYSTEM as Saving You Space Time Energy Money!

Fascinating how navigating emotions is the adventure of a lifetime. And they keep growing in complexity!

I very much agree with system. At some point, we need to be able to progress even when we feel like crap.

Although, I’ll add. Sometimes, I’ll add feeling like crap might be the indicator that I need to take it slower. That happened to me a few days ago. I just felt so much fear it was paralyzing. I really needed to stop pushing and take a step back to process those. I still feel a bit of fear but I’ve made peace with it and I’m ready to keep going on crafting my new automation offering!
